    • =Disadvantages:=
      - A fleeter MUST be able to predict when he will be online.
      - This type of playing is time consuming.
      - If a fleeter has his fleet crashed, he will lose a lot of points.
      - For many players, a fleet crash is the end of the game.
      - It costs a lot of deuterium to fly around with a large fleet.

      ==Miners==
      A miner is type of player that has very high mines as major source of income and often trade resources with other players.
      Thus miners tend to have a set number of Cargos on each planet in order to transport their resources.
      Since a miner doesn’t have a fleet, he can trade deuterium with fleeters to gain additional resources and (usually) the fleeter’s protection.
      However, a miner will need defence to protect resource income and Satellites.

      =Advantages:=
      - Mines are solid points that cannot be lost.
      - They generally do not need to spend as much time playing.
      - By trading regularly with highly ranked players in his area, a miner can acquire NAPs (non attacking pact) with potential attackers as well as gaining their protection.

      =Disadvantages:=
      - Miners must manage Energy efficiently to power up their mines, as Solar Plants are expensive and Solar Satellites are targets. See more information <>.
      - Miners climb ranks slower than active fleeters, especially in universes where economy speed is not higher than fleet speed.
      - Mines get very expensive and slow to raise towards the higher levels.

      =Colony Positioning:=
      - Close together in order to minimize deuterium costs and time on transporting resources.
      - Picking a quiet galaxy (e.g 5) is advisable as less people are around, although it might increase time needed to trade with other players.

      =Other notes:=
      - Most miners usually build Solar Plants up to the high twenties, and then switch to Solar Satellites to cover their energy.
      - There are different types of miners, to learn more about it see our <>.


      ==Fleeters==
      These are the players that have all the HoF battles and have the most chance of reaching the top of the toplist.
      They have large fleets consisting of every attacking ship type.
      Rather than farming small players like raiders, A fleeter makes his profit by crashing other people’s fleets and harvesting the debris field.

      =Advantages:=
      - Massive profits to be made.
      - Because of HoFs and Top Ten hits, fleeters are usually the players that are remembered after leaving.
      - Highly ranked fleeters are rarely probed.
      - Fleeting is said to be the most exciting way to play the game.

      =Disadvantages:=
      - A fleeter MUST be able to predict when he will be online.
      - This type of playing is time consuming.
      - If a fleeter has his fleet crashed, he will lose a lot of points.
      - For many players, a fleet crash is the end of the game.

      =Colony Positioning:=
      - The further apart your planets, the more ground you will cover and therefore the more targets are available.
      - However, longer distance between planets, means more deuterium for transporting fleet around the galaxy. See more in <>.

      =Other notes:=
      - Fleeters often start out as miners. It is wise to have a good set of mines behind your fleet, as then in the event of being crashed you will be able to rebuild faster.
      - Fleeters often need to be good at calculations, as many attacks require precise planning.
      - There are different types of fleeters, to learn more about it see our <>.

      u never was a fleeter and u never played as the fleeter, so pls do not write ur sh******
      I ve been played always as a the fleeter, TOPed many times

      did u heard about hybrid fleeters, good mines, good researches...and v-moding LOL...i bet u do not understand why we r v-moding...


      :lol:

    • No need to talk like this .

      We are aware and you should be also aware that no guide in this world can teach you how to be a fleeter .
      In these guides and tutorials we are presenting only some general aspects, just enough for a starting player to know from what to start with. This is not a fleeter " academy" .



      Of course v-mode fleeters and Sunday players are things we do not like to encourage because they kill the game.

      We also know that there are hybrid players , miners most of the time and fleeters when they have more free time or just pleasure to play like this. In fact most of the top fleeters have also a very strong infrastructure that every miner would be proud to have. So please, if we don't mention things, it doesn't mean we don't know them.

      We are about to start the "tactics" if you are so good, we kindly invite you to contribute but in a constructive way, share with us your experience but please, don't kill the piano player.

      Origin board has a pride in being a user friendly board and this should work in both directions: team - user , user team. In fact we are all users here.
